The American Museum of Natural History (AMNH) launched Discoverer, a free membership program aimed at New York State residents on Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (Snap) benefits. This program allows beneficiaries to bring four guests, reserve tickets online and offers free access to exhibitions. Nearly 1.8 million people in New York City rely on Snap, which the museum hopes to support through this initiative. The program was developed in partnership with local government departments and aligns with the Museums for All initiative, promoting access to culture for underserved communities.
AMNH's Discoverer membership program provides free access to exhibitions and educational programming for low-income New York State residents, particularly those on Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (Snap) benefits.
Nearly 1.8 million New Yorkers rely on Snap, making the initiative crucial for those facing financial barriers to accessing cultural experiences.
"Welcoming a more complete and representative reflection of our neighbours as members is a major aspiration for the museum," said AMNH president Sean M. Decatur.
The Discoverer membership, part of the nationwide Museums for All initiative, allows Snap beneficiaries to bring guests and reserve tickets online.
